Am not using boot camp, though it is on sys. From what I see my Win Office is a Mac version.<br /> also have QT on here, but have deleted two other pgms that were supposed to work one was a Win pgm, win media player, other some 3rd party.<br /> Stumped here, all should have worked. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/unable-to-open-wmv-files-and-some-programs#post-25666 Thu, 22 May 2008 01:53:34 +0000 ross 25666@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Can you explain that a bit more clearly? You're trying to install software on your Mac Mini, in Windows (are you dual-booting via BootCamp or using something like Parallels to run XP inside of OS X?) but having trouble installing the Windows software? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/unable-to-open-wmv-files-and-some-programs#post-25659 Thu, 22 May 2008 00:25:45 +0000 taits 25659@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Mac mini w\ leopard with xp on it as well. I have tried to install\reinstall the Win program I have on my XP laptop as well as Quick time and one other but none will open these files. All I get is that computer language coding when I try to open or install these programs or files.<br /> Looking for a FIX. </p>
